Re: 2 Tough Bubble hands
Hand one is tough because the upside is so thin while the downside could be huge. Against a reasonable big stack pushing should be fine here. Also if getting the chip lead puts you in a spot to dominate the table, it might be worth it to take a -EV gamble here. If winning this pot wouldn't put me in the chip lead, I would probably fold even if I felt like shoving had some value.
I'm basically insta-shoving hand two unless the big stack has been quiet. TT plays much better against a wide range then AQo, so if he is playing well (which it doesn't appear like he is but who knows) you can make a significant step forward by shoving here. If he has any 2, it is about a 3% increase to shove here while it is only .8% in the AQ hand.
